Can I work part-time and still receive unemployment benefits in Maryland?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can work part-time and still receive unemployment benefits in Maryland. However, the amount you earn from your part-time job may affect the amount of benefits you receive. Maryland follows the "Partial Benefit Credit" (PBC) rule, which allows individuals to earn a portion of their unemployment benefits while working part-time. The state determines your weekly benefit amount based on your previous earnings and reduces it by a portion of your part-time wages. If your part-time earnings exceed your weekly benefit amount, you may not be eligible for benefits that week. It is important to report all earnings accurately and timely each week to ensure you receive the appropriate benefits.
